![Jesus was not jewish - judaism is not hebraism - jews are not israelites - Jesus did not practice judaism [1024x1024 - 270KB]](https://pic8.co/sh/CPk4QD.jpg){kind=link}
Tell me, what book did you read that put you on this stupid course?
The New Testament, which clearly states that Jesus is not a descendant of David. Joseph was a descendant of David. But Joseph wasn't Jesus' father. Joseph was Jesus' step-father. Mary was already pregnant when she met Joseph. Therefore, Joseph is not Jesus' biological father. Meaning the line of lineage written about in the New Testament does not make Jesus a descendant of David.
If you deny that Jesus was of Old Testament Hebrew lineage then you deny Him as the promised savior.
Many people tell blatantly obvious lies. It's easier to lie and say that Jesus is Jew, than it is to tell the truth and reconcile Jesus being the savior in another way.
I think that the theologians explain that legally through Joseph Jesus was the lion of the tribe of Judah.
And of course his mother was Mary.

Hey, there you go. You found a way of explaining how a non-Jew (or a non-descendant of David) could be the savior. So it can be explained how Jesus is the savior without being an ethnic/racial Jew.
All that's left is to accept that religions do have branches, common roots, and do overlap. No one would call Mohammad a religious Jew, and it's just as ridiculous as calling Jesus a religious Jew. Mohammad religiously was a Muslim. And Jesus was religiously a Christian.
And then there's the fact that some of Jesus' teachings share similarities with Buddhism. But again, calling Jesus a Jew is just as ridiculous as calling him a Buddhist.
Yeah, when these guys say Jesus was not a jew they are being disingenuous to an extent as they know that many people when they say Jesus is a jew they simply mean he was a Hebrew, an Israelite.
It would be helpful to explain themselves better rather than immediately start calling everybody a jew when they simply are confused about what is being put forth.
Something like that (I'm in the middle of finishing cooking something so apologies for a scattered brain).
I'm probably not explaining myself well, it's an internet forum, hard to communicate.
>The New Testament, which clearly states that Jesus is not a descendant of David.
And yet he was circumcised, and yet his mother was jewish... But since he was jesus it doesn't count, right?
Religiously Jesus practiced Christianity. Racially Jesus wasn't a Jew and neither was his mother.
Sure he was just circumcised for not reason at all!
You people are lost
